The Elizabethan butterfly is a nocturnal species endemic to Spain and France, being one of the living jewels of the Sierra de Guadarrama. Discovered in 1849 in the area near the monument and celebrated there since 1973, it receives its name in tribute to Queen Isabel II, monarch of Spain at the time.

This mountain pass is of great importance in the Spanish cycling scene. A large number of editions of the Tour of Spain have passed through the port of Malagón and the port has been the end of the stage on many occasions.

Very TOP track facing GRAVEL. It is enjoyed like a dwarf in the sense of the title. Maybe the other way around costs something more 😀😉🤙🏻
